during certain great strikes, the men

THB Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph says
Az the drill for the Kalamazoo natural
gas well has reached on down from 100
feet to another and brought no report
Of results, some people have lost faith
in Its prospects, even though 1t was
less than 1000 feet In the earth's crust.
Its prospects, however, are as bright as
they have ever been. There was no in
ducement at any time to drill down
1000 feet, unless the association, at
whose expense the work Is done, In
tended to 60 at least $500 or 1000 feet
before stopping, and there was no rea'
son to look for indications Of any sort
at less depth than $500 to $500. A

more faVorably located, struck Its 6rst

The SteubenViIle Gazstte contains the
following: The claim that Mr.. Taney
of the Wheeling Register, made mis-
take in erecting banner obnoxious to
the G.. A. B. procession at Wheeling, is
on a par with the assertion that THE
Government brought on the war by
fiourishing the red flag In the face Of
the Southern bull In 1851. Had Taney
hung his banner In the garret, there
would have been no dIsloyalty shown al
Wheeling, and had the Government per-
mitted the South to 90 In peace, there
would have been no bloodshed during
the late unpleasantness.

FoRAKER AND TAxTION.

The Republican managers Of Fora
ker's campaign, find themselves IN des'
peTate straits. With the disposition OF
their candidate to play the demsgogue
on every occasion, and trying to show
himself statesman he has succeeded
in agltating elements who are deter
mined not to be misrepresented, DULL
dOzed, or lied about. In addition to the
odlum Foraker has incurred In trying
stir up sectional strife, they are
likely to find themselves In an unenVis-
BILE position on account of his messs gs
to the legislature advocating an In
crease In the taxable valuation OF real
estate. His message to the General AS
sembly April 6, 1885, says so, in so much
English.
How would the farmers Of Stark
county meet such q proposition, with
wheat, corn, oats, and wool, selling
lower than they have for twenty
FIVE years. paying as they do
indirect tariff taxes on all their farm
implements, clothing, lumber, etc., and
by this means making the cost OF pro-
duction high, or how would the mechan-
les. suffering under the same heavily
buTdened necessarlss meet this prOpO.
sition to raise the tax on their homes,
or through this proposed Increase OF
ia xation, increase the already too heaV-
lily burden Of rent.
And right here the Democrat says,
that the measure Of profit secured Is the
best Of successful prices for products,
and with the prospect Of an increase Of
taxation the mite Of profit now must be
entirely dissipated, and along with II
many comforts. Before this campaign
Is over, there is no doubt but the people
will thoroughly understand this Repub-
lican proposition of maintaining taxes,
it Is entirely on line with the record
they have made.

that the Ohio Democratic Platform is
Just the thing on the tariff question
He says: $50 far as tariff Is concerned
there could not be more Democratic
platform constructed than that adopted
at the Democratic Convention Of the
State of Ohio. What a comment 1t Is
upon the attitude of the sO.calle Demo-
cratic members from Ohio In the last
House of Representatives. Then the
majority of them opposed even the con
slderatiOn of tariff reform. Let ue see
II their successors will follow their ex-
ample In the face of that declaration of
the State Convention. They couldn't
vote for reduction Of the duty on wool
fOrsOoth, because Ohio was so much In
terested In sheep raising. Why, my
State of Texas raises more sheep in
week than Ohio does ina month. The
wool interest was raised against me in
several Of my campaigns.

my constituents that for every 'one OF

moved from wooden goods. l won the

BRICKLAYERs KICK
On Philadelphia WOrkmeD, Who Refuse

A3N-~-~
to Join the Local UnlOns
The bricklayers on the j. 8. Melbourne
hotel, being erected at the corner of the
Valley railroad and TuscaTawas street,
struck this morning for $3.50 day.
They were receiving $3.50 and were
apparently satisfied, but tbeirgrievance
seems to be altogether different from
their demand. A few days ago several
fine Philadelphia pressed brick layers
were employed to do the front work and
the local mechanics not only invited
them to join the local union but e.
manded tnat they should join or quit
work. The Philadelphisns said they
would do nothing of the sort; that they
were members Of the union and be-
longed to lodge In their own city and
could not change. Although there are
only three Of them the local workmen
demand that they ride the goat or pack
their kits. Why they ask an increase
In wages to bring this about is one oil

can explain.
